Employing guitars and strings, this new version of Gravity features more colors and a bigger sound than the original. The intimate moments still remain, but this version grows and blossoms into its own identity. Alvorado manages to grasp the emotion and drama that makes up the essence of the song. In parallel with the lyrics, he pushes and pulls his conviction for a performance that is very alive. As the tune progresses, Gravity is layered with vocal lines and a thicker orchestration. It is in this moment that Alvarado's version shines and his artistry is put on full display. Overall, this new version of Gravity performed by Miguel Angel Alvarado is an enjoyable listen that has plenty new to offer while still honoring the original.

This is a version that grows with intrigue and quality from the beginning until the end.
